Some of the active ingredients documented, researched, and verified in graviola are a group of Annonaceous acetogenins which are only found in the Annonaceae plant family. Graviola (Annona muricata) has 82 different acetogenin chemicals (in 10 distinct types). Mountain graviola (Annona montana) contains the main annonacin chemical that graviola does, and, it has 26 more acetogenin chemicals not found in graviola (in 6 distinct types)! Graviola Max combines both species of graviola (Annona muricata and Annona montana) to provide 12 different types of acetogenins—108 distinct powerful chemicals in all. Compare that to only 28 acetogenin chemicals found in the American paw paw. . . Graviola Max delivers almost four times more acetogenins than paw paw! See this file for more documentation.

Traditional Uses:* for cancer (all types); as a broad-spectrum internal and external antimicrobial to treat bacterial and fungal infections; for internal parasites and worms; for high blood pressure; for depression, stress, and nervous disorders

Ingredients: A blend of graviola leaf and stem (Annona muricata), and mountain graviola leaf and stem (Annona montana).
Suggested Use: Take 3 capsules 3-4 times or as directed by a healthcare professional.

Contraindications:

Not to be used during pregnancy or breast-feeding.

Graviola has demonstrated hypotensive, vasodilator, and cardiodepressant activities in animal studies (not confirmed in humans). People with low blood pressure should monitor their blood pressure accordingly.

Graviola has recently been documented to lower blood sugar in animal studies (not confirmed in humans). People with hypoglycemia and diabetes should monitor their blood sugar levels accordingly.

Drug Interactions: None have been reported; however, based on animal studies, graviola may enhance the effect of high blood pressure drugs and diabetes drugs.

Other Practitioner Observations:

Graviola has demonstrated in vitro antimicrobial properties. Chronic, long-term use of this plant might lead to some die-off of friendly bacteria in the digestive tract. Supplementing the diet with probiotics and digestive enzymes may be helpful
to counteract this possible effect.

Graviola has demonstrated emetic properties in one animal study with pigs. Large single dosages may cause nausea or vomiting. Reduce the usage accordingly or take with a meal if nausea occurs.

Drinking plenty of water (at least 8 glasses a day) is helpful to reduce Herxheimer reactions and flush dead and dying cells from the body.

One of three documented mechanisms of action of graviola is by decreasing energy to abnormal cells (called an ATP-inhibitor). Taking supplements that increase cellular energy (like CoQ10) will counteract or disable this one mechanism of action of graviola (however, the other two mechanisms of action will be unaffected).
